Samson: Political analyst: internally and externally acceptable criteria for choosing the prime minister
06/30/2022 22:41:33
The political analyst, Haitham Al-Khazali, confirmed, on Thursday evening, the acceptability of the criteria for choosing the prime minister internally and externally.
Al-Khazali told Al-Furat News that: “The first episode in forming the government depends on choosing the president of the republic, and he will return to the Kurdish house. The other is to come up after the feast with one candidate to vote on internally, i.e. a repetition of the 2018 scenario.
He referred to “setting criteria for the qualities of the prime minister; However, the names of the candidates for the position have not yet been presented, and I believe that the criteria are more reasonable and acceptable internally and externally."
Khazali added, "There are many challenges facing the current and subsequent government, but I think some threats are matched by some opportunities.
There is a financial abundance that can address the issue of the exchange rate and the economic situation, improving services and covering social welfare by increasing its entitlements and covering it with health insurance.
There is international and regional acceptance due to the presence of energy sources and corridors that call for calm down."
He noted, "The political blocs now have a golden opportunity because of the financial abundance and international understanding of the government's work and the stability of energy markets, with a rise in prices due to the Ukrainian-Russian war, and there are understandings between Baghdad and the countries of the region. I think that everyone will contribute to the success of the government, and we hope to take steps focused on serving the citizens."
Mr. Al-Hakim called for giving priority to the public interest over private interests and the formation of a national service government capable of defining priorities and working to implement them according to an agile and short program. The head of the National State Forces Alliance also renewed his position not to participate in the next government, and to keep the role of wisdom limited to convergence of views between the political parties.
